Part 2 of 3: First stop, an intimate screening at the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach Offices

First stop was The Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach Offices. Chief and Council were meeting for several days that week and we had timed the visit to coincide to be sure that most people were in town. Director-General Curtis Tootoosis welcomed us and in we went to meet with Chief Noah Swappie, Councillors Sandy Shecanapish, Theresa Chemaganish, George Guanish and Secretary to the Council Stella Pien. Everyone watched intently while we waited with hope and trepidation. What would they think? There was some laughter. Mostly a strong focus, checking it out. When it ended, the first comments were, “But there is so much more about us.” “Not much on fishing.” My response was, “I’ve done this one. Now it’s your turn!” But then who knows what might happen…..That being said, all agreed there was a need for a bit more work on some of the translation and George agreed to work with us in final editing.
